Pancreatic Polypeptide-Secreting Cells
|
D050418 |
[A group of islet cells (10-35%) which secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE, a hormone that regulates APPETITE and FOOD INTAKE.
] |
|
Pancreatic Pseudocyst
|
D010192 |
[Cyst-like space not lined by EPITHELIUM and contained within the PANCREAS. Pancreatic pseudocysts account for most of the cystic collections in the pancreas and are often associated with chronic PANCREATITIS.
] |
|
Pancreatic Stellate Cells
|
D058954 |
[Star-shaped, myofibroblast-like cells located in the periacinar, perivascular, and periductal regions of the EXOCRINE PANCREAS. They play a key role in the pathobiology of FIBROSIS; PANCREATITIS; and PANCREATIC CANCER.

|
Pancreatic alpha-Amylases
|
D055292 |
[A subclass of alpha-amylase ISOENZYMES that are secreted into PANCREATIC JUICE.
] |
|
Pancreaticobiliary Maljunction
|
D000080222 |
[A group of anatomical variations in which the COMMON BILE DUCT and MAIN PANCREATIC DUCT are joined outside the duodenal wall often with abnormally long common channel rather than at the SPHINCTER OF ODDI.

|
Pancreaticoduodenectomy
|
D016577 |
[The excision of the head of the pancreas and the encircling loop of the duodenum to which it is connected.

|
Pancreaticojejunostomy
|
D010193 |
[Surgical anastomosis of the pancreatic duct, or the divided end of the transected pancreas, with the jejunum. (Dorland, 28th ed)
] |
|
Pancreatin
|
D010194 |
[A mammalian pancreatic extract composed of enzymes with protease, amylase and lipase activities. It is used as a digestant in pancreatic malfunction.
] |
|
Pancreatitis
|
D010195 |
[INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.

|
Pancreatitis, Acute Hemorrhagic
|
D000081032 |
[An acute INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS in which the initial edematous pancreatitis evolved into necrosis accompanied by HEMORRHAGE.
] |
|
Pancreatitis, Acute Necrotizing
|
D019283 |
[A severe form of acute INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS characterized by one or more areas of NECROSIS in the pancreas with varying degree of involvement of the surrounding tissues or organ systems. Massive pancreatic necrosis may lead to DIABETES MELLITUS, and malabsorption.
] |
|
Pancreatitis, Alcoholic
|
D019512 |
[Acute or chronic INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS due to excessive ALCOHOL DRINKING. Alcoholic pancreatitis usually presents as an acute episode but it is a chronic progressive disease in alcoholics.
] |
|
Pancreatitis, Chronic
|
D050500 |
[INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS that is characterized by recurring or persistent ABDOMINAL PAIN with or without STEATORRHEA or DIABETES MELLITUS. It is characterized by the irregular destruction of the pancreatic parenchyma which may be focal, segmental, or diffuse.
] |
|
Pancreatitis, Graft
|
D055589 |
[An inflammatory disease and serious complication of PANCREAS TRANSPLANTATION. It is caused by a premature activation of pancreatic proenzymes leading to autodigestion of the gland and can be attributed to immunological or nonimmunological causes.
] |
|
Pancreatitis-Associated Proteins
|
D000073718 |
[C-type lectins that restrict growth of bacteria in the intestinal epithelia and have bactericidal activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. They also regulate proliferation and differentiation of KERATINOCYTES following injury. Human pancreatitis-associated protein-1 (Reg3a) is overexpressed by pancreatic ACINAR CELLS in patients with CHRONIC PANCREATITIS. It is also highly expressed by pancreatic, bladder, and gastrointestinal cancer cells and may serve as a diagnostic biomarker.

|
Pancrelipase
|
D020799 |
[A preparation of hog pancreatic enzymes standardized for lipase content.
] |
|
Pancuronium
|
D010197 |
[A bis-quaternary steroid that is a competitive nicotinic antagonist. As a neuromuscular blocking agent it is more potent than CURARE but has less effect on the circulatory system and on histamine release.
] |
|
Pancytopenia
|
D010198 |
[Deficiency of all three cell elements of the blood, erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets.
] |
|
Pandalidae
|
D033542 |
[A family of CRUSTACEA, order DECAPODA, comprising the pandalid shrimp. They are protandric hermaphrodites and can breed in both male and female stages. Many species are commercially harvested in the Pacific Northwest.
